GlockenValtz: A Story of Love and Betrayal


 My First Album. What started off as a tribute to classical music, blossomed into a wordless story of love, betrayal and murder. Imagine a world where instruments are sentient.  The Piano God among them. Imagine a couple of glockenspiels in that world dancing the night away with no care in the world except each other. Some feel enchanted, while a certain other has nothing but envy. How will it turn out?

Classical Splice

Classical Splice
This was less of an album and more or an experiment.  Imagine yourself as a musician of your time. Rock and Roll, Blues, Electronica, Wave, you name it.  Imagine being thrust back in time to the Vienna Period, with nothing but your knowledge of your genre and the instruments available to you. Would you please the Vienna crowd or end up like Mozart? Listen and judge for yourself.

GlockenValtz 2: Organ Hell

 https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/glockenvaltz-2-organ-hell

My sequel to my first Album. I figured if the Piano was God of my world, then the Organ is most certainly the Devil.  We get a glimpse into the world of Organ Hell as one of it's inhabitants makes their escape. Planning a vengeance that could shake the heavens themselves.

SynthOrcChip: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/synthorcchip-which-sounds-better 
My first interactive Album.  One where I wanted audience participation.  The rules were simple Two Songs, Three Variations.  Syntesizer, Orchestral or Chiptune. But which sounds better?

SynthOrcChip II: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/synthorcchip-ii-which-sounds-better

I gotten to like doing my albums this way, that I decided to try a sequel album. Same rules apply. Which Sounds Better? Fun Fact: My Roman Numeral art was inspired by Led Zepplin. 

Walk of Shame and Sadness


https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/walk-of-shame-and-sadness
I Thought I would start doing singles so that people wouldn't feel pressured to buy an album or pieces of one. But my creative juices started flowing and I came up with a small story on this one.  Here we have Shame-Face a being who walks the earth and can only feel two emotions: Shame and Sadness.  As he tries to remain stoic, he finds himself bound to cry at random.  When anyone asks him what he's so sad and ashamed of, his answer is one word "Everything." 

March of Hate and Anger

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/march-of-hate-and-anger
A sorta Sequel to my Shame and Sadness one.  Here we have Hate-Face, a being who can only express hate and anger and can only react in violent ways.  If someone were to foolishly ask him what makes him so hateful and angry, he'll only give a one word answer. "Everything."

Broken Rhythm

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/broken-rhythm
Another Experiment of mine. Bruce Lee once said "It is difficult to have a rehearsed routine to fit in with, broken rhythm." While he applied that mostly to his Martial Arts, much like Martial Arts it can apply to all life itself. Which includes music. So what I did was I made a simple tune, then overlapped it with the same tune, just a note or so ahead.  To see if it either makes something beautiful or becomes painful to the ears. You decide.

Jump For Joy and Happiness

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/jump-for-joy-and-happiness
What started as some loosely connected singles became a trilogy of of short wordless stories about three embodiment of emotions. I started this song as the first song I written to include percussion. But when I realized how positive the tone was, I decided to make it my conclusion of my little single stories. In the final chapter of this mini-music-series. We meet the last embodiment of emotion. Joy-Face. A being who can only express two emotions. Joy and Happiness. Much like Shame-Face and Hate-Face, if you were to ask this being what he is so happy about. His answer will be "Everything." Only unlike Shame-Face who prefers to keep things to himself and Hate-Face who intends to destroy everything he touches; Joy-Face wants to fix what's broken and spread happiness all over. How will the other two react?

SynthOrcChip III: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/synthorcchip-iii-which-sounds-better
At this point I decided to make music videos to better advertise my work, but until I did this album I didn't have much inspiration other than GlockenValtz. But I didn't want to put my eggs in one basket either.  So when I did this album I decided to do a series of songs from here to V to make a series of stories. In this case this was the opening songs to A Hero's Struggle. But following the rules I did two songs per album, but three variations.  Which Sounds Better?

SynthOrcChip IV: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/synthorcchip-iv-which-sounds-better
At this point I had no excuse other than making songs for my videos. But I figure like before, I'd continue my Superhero stories with these ones. Since Stories have a beginning, middle and end, then this would be the middle of it. Which Sounds Better?

 SynthOrcChip V: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/synthorcchip-v-which-sounds-better
This was my conclusion of my Hero's Struggle arc which includes the origin and ending songs to the whole story.  Which Sounds Better?

A Hero's Struggle:

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/a-heros-struggle
After finishing my songs and my videos, I figured what better way to commemorate it by making it an album all their own.  The story itself is a cliched deconstruction of the Superhero Genre, both based around the idealistic heroes of the Donner Superman Era and the controversial but thought provoking ideas of the Snyder DCEU Era.  As an incentive upon purchasing this Album, you get my music videos as well as concept art for the story, for free.

PianHarpz

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/pianharpz
This one is sort of a cheat. While it falls under similar rules to SynthOrcChip it only applies to one song rather than 2. So instead it's only the title of said song. There's no guessing, but I thought I'd do a mini album rather than a full one. The way I see it an album contains different songs, whereas a mini album contains different variations of one song. In this case a little tune that involves a piano and a harpsicord. And since this is 3 variations of a single song I slashed my original price for my usual albums in half for this one.

Morning in Heaven

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/morning-in-heaven
This is more of an experiment than an actual song, but essentially I wanted to give vocals a try. What better way than the sounds of a heavenly choir and a light piano.

Night In Hell

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/night-in-hell
A second vocal experiment. I figured what's a heavenly choir without a hellish one. So I tried it out with some deep baritone and an accompanying organ.

Best Of SynthOrcChip: Which Sounds Better?

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-synthorcchip-which-sounds-better
A Month Ago I had all my SynthOrcChip Albums Voted to see what variations my listeners liked better. As a result I compiled them to my most expensive album yet.  But which of these voted styles sound better? You decide.

Somber Peak

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/somber-peak
Another Mini Album Ala PianHarpz. This one however has more of a theme than just putting instruments together. In this case. Each added instrument in each variation of the song is what I like to call a few hundred feat up the sad mountain, until you end up in Somber Peak. Much like PianHarpz there is a Synth version, an orchestral version and a Chiptune Version. But since it's one song it's not a full album.

Earth's Broken Heart Beat

Earth's Broken Heart Beat
I thought I'd do another single. This one is all about one thing. If the Earth has a heart, this would be it beating. It's cracks represent what we do to it, both environmentally and spiritually. And it's break is the end result if we keep going the way we are going.

Action Cometh

Action Cometh
  This one is more of an experiment in tempo than it is a full album so it'll be my cheapest one. It's an action oriented synth song that I thought would be appropriate to put on the Fourth of July. Not for Poltical Reasons, like most songs regarding nations. While I myself am Canadian and would have done this on the first, I thought that I would take the time to remind people that despite our strive for peace, every single country both allied and enemy, have always have been and always will be forged in blood, fire and will. Action Cometh before the Peace.

Increasing Pressure

Increasing Pressure
  Sort of an experiment in chord play. I came to realize that whether it's a piano or any instrument for that matter, chords always often involved using more than one finger to press on the keys/holes/etc. Which in turn despite how passionate and great songs can be can often cause a lot of pressure and wear down your fingers. So I thought with this little tune I start with one note then slowly increase it into a three note chord. Increasing the pressure and giving the same unease that most people get when they are playing it. I also noticed the more notes I put on it the more different it sounded for better and worse.

It initially started as a Piano only thing, but for kicks I did a Synth Version too. Enjoy.

A Time For Hope

A Time For Hope
  It took me a while but after writing so many borderline depressing songs, I figured a more positive one would do the trick. I did two variations, like my last album. 1 orchestral and 1 synth. I wanted to do a song that personified hope. So I used one of my favorite instruments to open it. The Glockenspiel and it just went from there. Much like the last album I did the synth version for kicks. As for the cover art. Well originally wanted use the Superman Insignia, but I feared DC would sue. So I opted for a more public domain symbol. So I used the Runic Symbol for hope. Which Doubles as a clock needle for my more animated cover.

Ambiguous Judgement

Ambiguous Judgement


Whether you get arrested or die, someone is always gonna judge you and your fate is decided in two decisions. Yes or no, Guilty or Innocent, Heaven or Hell. When it becomes time to be judged, that's when people show their true colors. Do they tell the truth, do they lie. Whatever the case may be, you should always be aware once that Gavel falls, because that hammer is the key to life and death. So I made a song that would make the listener either hopeful or scared. A song designed to make you uneasy. Like my previous album I did two variations of it. Synth and Orchestral. Like before my cover is animated.

Mass of Despair

Mass of Despair 

I thought I'd make something scary and organ heavy. So I made this song. Many people often equate the Organ with the Church. But what would happen if the Mass wasn't what you thought it was. That some devil in the form of a preacher could be corrupting the congregation. And what if that church was really the gateway to hell.

As like the previous albums I did a Synth Version.

The Hitman: A Hero City Short

https://shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/the-hitman-a-hero-city-short


This song plus the animated short I based it around, takes place in the same universe as A Hero's Struggle. Here we have a Hitman who has a very peculiar way of dealing with his clients problems.

Delivery

Delivery


 Another song for another short. We all heard this one before, a pizza man goes to a woman's house. The woman doesn't seem to have enough cash and suggests an "Alternative" way of paying him. However it's not what you think. It's much worse.

 Death Of Summer

Death Of Summer
Today is August 21. In approximately one day and one month it will be September 22. Which means Summer, the season of heat and humidity has one month to live. This is the danger it feels as each day goes by.

Confidence Piano

Confidence Piano


This piece I did because I wanted to personify confidence in piano form. The emotion that gets the brave out of bed to do good and the stupid out of bed to get themselves killed when too much of it is invoked.


ASMR Project 1

ASMR Project 1


This is not a song per se. It is not meant to entertain. If you feel entertained by this, then more power to you. This is my first attempt at an ASMR. A series of sounds meant to stimulate the senses. Since this is one of my most experimental ones. It's, with the option to pay. Specifically 200 downloads a month are free. Use at your own risk.

The Rise of Fall

The Rise Of Fall 


While it's a month and 3 days too late, this album takes place on September 22. After the Death Of Summer, Fall began to rise. It's Goal, to pave the way for Winter. As the Leaves fall and the temperature drops. Fall has to move quickly and efficiently so that the falling snow has more space to land.
The Slow Version represents it's rise.
The Fast Version Represents it's urgency to complete it's work.


The Death Of Fall

The Death Of Fall



It is November 15. Fall has one month and 7 days to live. Each note represents a a leaf falling off the tree. Each build up of intruments represents hundreds of trees showing their falling leaves. And the last part of the song represents the approaching winter.

  Treble Bass Tidal Wave

Treble Bass Tidal Wave


 Cheapest track ever. Nothing really special about it compared to my other works. But essentially the idea is that I was creating a wave with a bass cleff instrument in the center before the song spread out into treble and bass instruments creating a musical wave.

Funeral For The Soul

Funeral For The Soul

 

Another cheap one, but I have more fondness for it. The best way to describe it is, if your soul could die, this would be the funeral music.

ASMR Project 2

ASMR Project 2

 

Unlike my last one, this one isn't free, but cheap though. This project rather than be a series of random notes, I have droned on a scale of chords. With some rhythmic in the second half. This specific Project seeks to stimulate the Chakras.

For those who either don't know. Chakras are a series of energy points which exist within certain parts of your body and have various abilities.

In this project I have used a note scale where each note is supposed to resonate with the corresponding Chakra.

This particular set is based around this picture.
instinctivehealthparenting4u.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/chakrasnotesastrology.jpg

Which is based on the belief that there are Chakras between the main 8.

Like the other ASMR listen at your own risk.

Feast of The Gods: A Modern Yule Song

 Feast of The Gods: A Modern Yule Song

I wanted to do something festive this December, somewhat related to Christmas. What many don't know is that without the Christian imagery, Christmas was a combination of two Pagan Holidays. The first being Yule. Where the Yule Log you all see burning on TV comes from. It was a holiday which consisted of a feast to honor the gods and goddesses of old. Which is why every Christmas we have a large turkey or ham banquet. The second being Saturnalia which involves the exchange of gifts. I wanted to do a song in which if the Pagans were still the dominant religion, they would have their music enhanced with modern day tech as well. Whilst the choir represents people enjoying their feast.

But religious implications aside, I hope this song is festive to you all and I wish you all Happy Holidays. Marry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Haunaka, Happy Kwanza, which ever floats your boat in December.

Hope For The New Year

Hope For The New Year


I did this track at the beginning of the new year of 2019. I believe that despite everything that has happened before, because it's a new year. Fresh, New and full of Promise, that this may be the best year ever before we reach the second decade of the 2000s. The once feared 2020. It starts off with a piano tune and ends with a small synth group. Expressing my hope of the year as it starts out.  Special thanks to Arka2027 and Aakash Sengupta for the cover and the video that follows it.


Rise of Winter

Rise of Winter

The latest chapter of my season songs. Meant to do this by December 21, but holidays and such.

Rise of winter is probably the loudest, creepiest track I ever made for this series.

The whole thing starts with a twinkling repeating tune simulating the snow fall. While the Instruments that accompany it represent the storm coming and the people's reaction to it. Some of it doesn't seem to fit well, but that's the point. Winter is the most unbearable weather of them all so it should be no doubt that this song will be just as unpleasant. But no matter how one feels about it, only one thing is certain. The snow will always fall until the day it melts. This one's also unique in which I don't do a fast or a slow version.

Struggling With Depression


This song is depression personified. Ever increasing, never seeming to stop, but no matter how you deal with it, both positively and negatively, it will end.

Death Of Winter

The Death of Winter


I was gonna post this on the 21st of February, but thanks to Phil the Groundhog an Early Spring has been predicted. So naturally Winter has a shorter time to live. Each instrument represents an aspect of winter's death. From the shovels and salt disposing the snow, to the snow itself fighting to stay frozen.

Our Darkest Hour

  Just a simple track of what I feel when I am at a point where it seems all odds are stacked against me. As I watch the world get worse, I find myself in the darkest hour of my life.

Rise Of Spring



Unlike my other season tracks, this one isn't routed in Horror. As Spring is one of the most pleasant seasons in the world. Not too hot, not too cold. Just perfect and positive.

Everyday Life Through The Eyes of Madness

Everyday Life Through The Eyes of Madness


This horror track, is all about the everyday life through the eyes of someone who's snapped. Everything this person sees is often different than what someone of average sanity or functional mental disorders see on a daily basis. Mainly for the worse. In the case of this individual, they think everything is out to get them. To creep up on them. To kill them.

 Rise and Fall of Tension

Rise and Fall of Tension


This track was made specifically for anyone looking for tense music in their fictional mediums. Tension personified.
